Entered at the Postoffice - hberry, S. C., as 2nd class matter. E. H. AULL, EDITOR. Tuesday, February 6, 1912. Glory be! The esteemed Charlotte Observer, of North Carolina, came out on Sunday without an editorial attack upon the governor of South Carolina. The legislature has before it a bill of $13,500 for plans for remodeling the State house. By the way, what is the legislature going to do with the plans, now that it has them? "The Supreme Opportunity of This Generation," is the big subject which will be handled by President J. Henry Harms at the Laymen's Missionary movement in Salisbury this week. Dr. Harms is one of the most forceful ora tors in the Southern Lutheran church. The house of representatives on Saturday finally passed the senate bill requiring the pulling of mileage on trains, and sent the bill back to the senate for concurrence in the amend ments as to when the bill shall go into effect Mr. A. H. Kohn, of Columbia, for merly of this county, is among the speakers on the program for the Lu theran Laymen's meeting in Salisbury this week. Mr. Kohn is a zealous worker in the cause, and has long been active in important duties in con nection with the South Carolina synod. The Lutheran Laymen's meeting, to be held in Salisbury this week, prom ises to mark an epoch in the progress of the work of the Lutheran church. Newberry has two representatives on the executive committee--Dr. -Geo. B. Cromer, who is chairman of thie com mittee and will. respond to the 'ad dress of welcome, and Dr. 0. B. May er. A number of Newberrians will attend. This movement is an import ant step in a great line of church en deavor, and should have the success which. it promises to meet. Why not let the teachers, patrons and trustees get busy and encourage one or more boys from each school in the county to enter the boys' corn contest and make a good showing at the National corn show to be held in Colunnbia next January. There is no ?eason why a Newberry boy should -not make a better record than Jerry Moore. We have the land just as good' and we are not willing to admit that we have not the boys who can if they will. ,That is the point, will they will to do it. We drove from Newberry to Big Creek and St. Liakes on Friday. The road out by the supervisor's home and the home of H. H. Evans and Geo. Hunter is in terrible condition. It has not even been dragged and that prtion from Mr. Hunter's to St. Lukes can not be dragged. It needs some thing else 'besides dragging. It is -one continuous ditch for a good por tion of the way. The return trip was made by Prosperity and most of the~ road was in very good condition ex-' cept that portion through the town of Prosperity. The balance had been dragged and it is wonderful how this does help a road. The mile of gov ernment road is in bad condition and should have attention. The people of Saluda have at last seecured a railroad. It is only from Wards to Saluda, a distance of only about 15 or less miles. The Saluda people are already thinking about ex .tending it either jo Newberry or Greenwood. The natural course for the railroad to take from Saluda is to Newberry, but it is not coming here of its own monentum. It is neessary for the Newberry people to show at' least a little bit interest in its comn ing. We heard the other day that it was possible that the road might be extended to Dyson. It is a ridge all the way and the distance is only'some distance by the Southern to Aagusta from that section some 50 miles. It would not cost much to build this gap. Personally we would b glad to see it extended to Dyson. There are no streams to cross and a good ridge all: the way. "UNCONTESTED MATTERS." The house of representatives on Saturday devoted its session to the passage of "uncontested matters." It is stated that about 100 local matters were thus disposed of. The Columbia correspondent of the News and Cour ier says: "Of course, there are always more or less important general bills that pass the gauntlet without objection, I and in this manner several more or less important matters received the second reading in the house." This correspondent goes on to say: "After much discussion the house agreed that when it adjourned today it would meet on Tuesday at noon, on account of Monday being a legal holi jay. Many members had already gone home and yet many opposed the recess idea. In a divhision vote 60 members voted, and as "uncontested matters" were being considered, no point was made as to a quorum." The house is composed of 124 mem bers, so that 60 gave an attendance of several less than a quorum. This thing of rushing through so-! called "uncontested matters" with 1 less than half the members present, is dangerous, and may at any time prove very costly to the State. EXTEND HARRINGTON STREET. Some time ago The Herald and News urged the extension of Harrington street -under the railroad trestles along Scott's creek, "and on to Mayer Memorial church, in West End, in or der to give the people of West End a. street along which they could come over into the business section of fhe city, without having to cross the rail roads at a grade crossing, and 'in or der to give the people of the eastern side of the city the same advantages in going to West End. Now would be an opportune time to take up this matter with the railroads. We understand the C., N. & L. has decided to replace i.ts trestle with a fill, and we have understood that this road would be willing to build a via duct for this street under the fill. Of course this could be done at much less cost while the fill is being put in. The matter could be taken up with both roads, and we believe that both roads would be willing to bear their share of the cost, if it is -properly presentede Some time ~o 'there was a pecu liarly sad accident which strongly im-! presses the need for this street, when a little lad coming over into the city was killed by a shifting Southern train. Leaving aside the grief of his mother and the tradgedy of a young life sur denly cut off, and considering the mat ter even from a sordid monetary standpoint, it is possible that what this accident will cost the Southern, if it should be adjudged guilty of neg ligence by the courts, would have gone a long way towards paying its share of the cost of putting in the viaduct and extending the street. Of course, there would be Some cost to the city in extending the street on to Mayer Memorial church, but it would be very small in comparison to the benefits which would accrue. What says city council? And what say the railroads? The Herald and News would be glad to have expres-! sions from its readers as to this mat LEGISLATIVE JAUNTS. It requires about three days to make one of these visits to each of our State institutions. As a general thing about one-third of the members go out on these official visits. There are five1 State educational institutions. If all1 are viisited the same year fifteen days1 out of the forty will be required. So< the cost is $15,000 to $20,000 to the State. If the legislators can do the work required in 25 days they ought to< do it and save that unnecessary ex What is the benefit of these jaunts? {ow is the State at large benefitted? - Are legislators any better pi'epared every Friday and Saturday and begin ning their work again Tuesday morn ing? They always adjourn to meet Monday at night, but the attendance is small and important business is post poned till they have a full house. Af ter this year let us have no mor-e of these pleasure trips. The excursion Friday was ostensibly to visit Charleston. Why should they adjourn to visit that city rather than Conway or Walhalla? Why not take a two days' hunting trip on the islands about Beaufort? Are tb legislators who went to Charleston any heiter prepared for legislative work by at tending the horse races now in pro:_ ress? Let the people speak out on this matter at the coming elections and abolish this habit of taki. . several pleasure trips during each session. Spartanburg Journal. We think the Journal is eminently correct in this position except that now the members get $200 per session whether it is a 25 day or a 40 day ses sion, though there are a great many expenses that would be cut off with a short session and probably the greatest of these would be the failure to pass a lot of useless legislation. If the members are not informed as to State institutions mighty little will they learn on one of these trips. A great many members take advantage of these excursions to go home and the larger part of the crowd is gen erally made up of people who are not in the legislature. Better cut them out. -~ The. Herald and News received on Monday through the mail several items of personal mention, which it would have been glad to print, had the name of the author been given? not for publication, but for the infor mation of the paper. It is a rule of the paper which we can not vary, that we can not print items sent t uE through the -mail unless we are given the name of the author. Farmers and the Red Under the above caption the Green wood Journal well and truly voices the sentiments of The Herald and News when it says: "The farmers are to be, commended for the interest they are3 taking in the roads. It will prove of ur.mense value, not only to them, but to the whole country. Let us hope that this interest will become general, and that after every bad spell of weather the roads all over the county will have the split log drag used on th.em. And not only should the farmers take in terest in improving the roads, but every Dne should feel the same inter est and do all that he can to better the condition of the roads." Pounded Him Hard. A large number of his enemies (in disguise) surprised Rev. E. C. Wat son at his home Monday and forced him to take a large number of hams, a large amount of sugar, other groc eries galore besides other needful house necessities. The good things were preesnted to him by the mnem bers of Bush River Baptist church, of which he is pastor, as a token of their love and esteem. Death of MIr. J. B. Fellers. Mr. Jno. B. Fellers died on Sunday morning at 1 o'clock. He was 72 years old. Service at the house on Mon day morning at 10 o'clock, by Rev. J. W. Carson, burial at Prosperity ceme tery. He is survived by two brothers, Mr. Levi Fellers, with whom he lived in the city,' and Mr. Mark Fellers, of Greenwood. In the Same Boat. Dillon Herald, 1st. The Herald will part company with a few of its readers after this week. We have given ample notice that if you wanted the paper continued you would have to renew and we don't wan't to send the Herald to anybody who doesn't want it. Our only alter native is to cut the names of suc" su'bscribers off the list. The Drayton Rutherford Chapter. The members of the Drayton Ruth rford chapter, U. D.
